A lite mode on amethyst, full Community functionality
Can you tell me more about lite mode? What must it have? What shouldn’t it have?
Oh lol I dont know. Maybe cuts your relays down, doesn't load follow numbers, doesn't load too many notes. You know just when you're out and about not in WiFi. Sorry too dumb to give a proper answer :)
After 9 months, I learned that people want all of Amethyst without the costs of Amethyst :)
Yeah, I don't know anything tbh, would just be cool to have an away from WiFi mode for when we leave our dens 😿 but in general amethyst is great:)
But yeah
cake and eating it .jpg lol
Try this client too:
https://freefrom.space/. I use it and I'm really liking it.
😂
The settings do offer a version of loading pictures and images only on WIFI. We just don't have anything for relay downloads yet.
Oh nice I didn't notice that:)
Fast and reliable even for the old phone. Since not all android users using (can afford) the latest android phone. 😅
For now, Nozzle is great
Amethyst is absolutely the best starting point. Anything improved from there would be a great client
a relay
Smoothness. Like in the video. In #amethyst the posts don't preload and that makes the UX a bit clunky.
I want the same UI as Damus on iOS. I don’t want another Amethyst.
Push notifications without requiring Google play services.
Is there a solution for that?
👀
Maybe, you can probably release two versions of Damus Android in the future:
- Google Play version (using FCM)
- FOSS version (unifiedpush)
Amethyst have done that.
There's the ntfy app, but I didn't succeed to get it to work with amethyst yet.
On a not super related note (I’m assuming youre also using
@GrapheneOS ): do you have recommendations for voip services that work well without google play services or do you prefer to just use your sim phone number for legacy calls/texts?
Signal, Simplex, jitsi all work great.
Maybe having an easy way or a built in feature to register for a nip-05 address for the normies.
It would be amazing if we could mute words.
Which OS version, and which phone do you recommend support for?
I think it is always the best to support low possible OS and devices.
Amethyst for example support minimum Android 8.0 (SDK 26)

Nostr client for Android. Contribute to atrifat/amethyst development by creating an account on GitHub.
For device testing, if possible test the app with low performance budget device such as Redmi (Xiaomi) which popular in developing countries (India, Indonesia, etc). If the app can run smoothly in low performance device then it won't be slow in high performance device (Pixel, or any Flagship phone).
It should work on all androids. Will get a xiaomi for testing
Looking forward to Damus Android, Will 🙂
Maybe a lite mode toggle? You could set like 3 relays to keep active and the rest automatically turn off. Image preview settings toggled to don't autoload, etc etc.
Sorta like turning on airplane mode, but not quite.
Same same but different but still same same

Came to say we wanted to try Damus, just Android. 🤝
Damus and Amethyst keep delivering so much awesomeness. Grateful.
But if your looking for a feature request, the "circles" functionality from Google+ has long been on my wishlist.
Purchased a redmi 10! $250 phone! Not bad.
A mute on individual notes without having to mute everything from that npub

I don’t recall using circles, just have third hand info.
Can you describe circles, how you might use circles, why you want this feature?
Looking forward for your work :)
Tester here with low end device is here too.
A couple of the feature videos seem to have disappeared in the last year. This one is okay.
Basic idea is choosing whom you share content with, and curating/filtering who's content you see.
Wicked cool to use, but I can't even conceive of how it would work on Nostr/clients.
Communities is a step in the right direction though.
Contact lists also close-ish to the mark.
Got you. Private relays are a tool that maybe allow approach of circles. For instance you can set up a family relay, a work relay etc..
keeping URL bar like that in the web browser, very, very handy, in my humble opinion...
Interesting. 🤔
That's something I might be able to pull off, but definitely not my normies.
This is the most solid idea I've heard yet though.
Progress. 🤝
I wonder if it would be possible to set them up like a special group DM for he broadcast, and a special filter(s) for the receive.
One approach involves switching relay sets/contexts, somewhat similar to how you might be in multiple discord servers.
An additional feature comes to mind that many would enjoy: the ability to schedule notes.

Reliable search, tags, & an in app wallet.
LFG!! LOVE THE LOOK!
MAYBE DAMUS ON GRAPHENE WILL BE THE PUSH I NEED TO DE-APPLE FINALLY 😅 😅
#NOSTR BOUT TO GET EVEN MORE #CYPHERPUNK 🔥 🔥

iOS damus clone 😂
I don't know if there is a NIP for it, but I really want a client to allow me to configure my personal media upload server with some sort of npub schnorr sig attestation along with the file upload.
afaik damus android will be here Real Soon ™️
There is a nip for it I think. Would be happy to accept an PR that implements it in damus

Rebuilding my bitcoin core full node from a failed hard drive, almost done. Takes a day…
literally cannot wait, as much as android clients are *ok*, nothing comes close to my lovely memories of using damus on my iPhone before I switched 😂
